China for Safety Measures A Panamanian ship that failed to carry out a new international protocol requiring all ships to be equipped with anti-terror systems has been detained in Penglai City, a coastal city in east China's Shandong Province. The ship, registered as "GOUTA", is a refrigerator vessel with 2,462 tons of capacity. It was heading from Panama to Penglai port this month when the local maritime safety administration found it lacked international security certificates or temporary international security certificates. The ship could only leave the port after obtaining the necessary security certificates, according to authorities with the local maritime safety administration. An international protocol took effect on July 1 this year to ensure anti-terror safety measures for international ships and harbors. Under the protocol, over 60,000 international ships and 20,000 international harbors will have to be equipped with anti-terror systems and related maritime safety administrations could detain or take other imperative measures on the ships without anti-terror systems. Rotterdam als cruisehaven in opkomst Rotterdam krijgt woensdag bezoek van de Queen Mary II, het grootste cruiseschip ter wereld. De komst van het 71 meter hoge en 344 meter lange gevaarte bewijst dat de stad aantrekkelijker wordt als cruisehaven.,,we hebben de afgelopen jaren veel gezaaid en zien nu voorzichtig een groen tapijtje'', zegt directeur Mai Elmar van Cruise Rotterdam. De stad was al bekend met grote passagierschepen.

5 water. De kustwacht haalde hen uit het water. SHIPYARD NEWS Yard slots to open Japanese builders have been holding 70 VLCCs-worth of berth space that now looks set to hit the market. Shipyards in Japan are facing up to the possibility of losing out on a $5.5bn contract to build a floating runway for Tokyo's Haneda airport. A competitive bid from Japanese marine construction company Penta-Ocean Construction is being tipped as the likely winner of the contract. If Penta-Ocean lands the deal, then dozens of newbuilding slots in 2006 will unexpectedly become available for merchant shipbuilding orders this autumn. And there could be some uncomfortable consequences for the shipping markets. Brokers say some Japanese yards have already started to take provisional orders for merchant ships to be built in berths that had been reserved for the construction of huge floating runway sections. The yards had been decribed as "dead cert" winners of the contract as they were backed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure&Transport, which has subsidised research into the new offshore technology dubbed "Mega-float" by its designers. One Tokyo broker told TradeWinds: "Some shipyards are already assuming that they are not building the floating runway sections and are planning cover for berth space." Newbuilding berths in 2006 and 2007, amounting to about 70 VLCCs of space, had been held back by shipyards in anticipation of building the floating sections. Each section is roughly the size of a VLCC and, to achieve the necessary precision, must be built in a dry dock. A consortium of major and medium-size Japanese shipbuilders and steel makers are now bidding for the runway project. Major builders like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries were lined up to build seven or eight sections each. Smaller yards were to contribute two or three sections each. Several factors are now working against the Japanese yard consortium. Steel prices have increased rapidly, making the shipyards' bids less competitive. And cost has become an increasingly important factor. The Japanese government is highly cost conscious and has already cut its budget by 20bn ($184m) by reducing the planned height of the terminal. In addition, the competing Japanese land-based construction companies are short of work and desperate to build the Tokyo air terminal. The land construction companies are planning to team up with marine construction companies, like Penta-Ocean, to offer a hybrid design, which employs the already proven land-fill technique in combination with a pier-type system. Shipyards are unlikely to be prepared to take a loss on the Mega-float project at a time when shipbuilding prices are on the rise. It has even been privately suggested that the yards are only bidding for the runway project to meet an obligation to the government for receiving subsidies to develop Mega-float. Although the amount of yard space that would be freed up is considerable, brokers are playing down the possible effect on the market. They believe the impact will be nothing like the sudden arrival of 70 free VLCC newbuilding berths. They say that in many cases shipyards already have contingency orders in place. PSi-Daily Shipping News Page 5 07/19/04

6 The very short lead times, especially for the 2006 deliveries, might also force yards to reshuffle delivery slots rather than attempt to build ships in a matter of months. The future supply-and-demand scenarios suggest the dry-bulk and tanker markets would not suffer too badly from the addition of a few extra ships but it is a different story for the container market. A number of Asian lines that have missed out in the rush to order in Korea could now be contenders for the sudden openings in Japan. Market analysts already expect up to 1.4 million teu of boxship capacity to be built in 2006, expanding the containership fleet by 15% in just one year. Brokers are already warning that if this tonnage arrives at the same time as demand growth slows, as happened in 1998 and 2001, the implications will be dire. If another pile of mega-containerships are added in the equation, 2006 could be an absolute nightmare. ROUTE, PORTS & SERVICES THIS SECTION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY : TOTAL VESSEL MANAGEMENT K.P. van der Mandelelaan MB Rotterdam (Brainpark) - The Netherlands Telephone : (31) Fax : (31) Telex : wosh nl Spanish cruise liner in Maltese harbour every Friday Maltese people looking for a one-week Mediterranean cruise have the answer waiting at the Valletta Harbour every Friday in the form of New Flamenco, a Spanish cruise-liner that tours the ports of Tunis, Barcelona, Nice, Rome and Naples. Mondial Travel has entered into a part-charter agreement with Travelplan, the liner s operator, to allow Maltese passengers to board the New Flamenco in July, August and September. The ship passes through the Maltese harbour every week, which makes it very convenient for the Maltese. It results in a practical and hassle-free holiday, said Mondial Travel managing director Martin Degiorgio. The Spanish atmosphere includes lively entertainment which the Maltese usually enjoy, he said. This makes a great family holiday as children under 16 board for nothing. PSi-Daily Shipping News Page 6 07/19/04

7 The prices are very attractive with adults saving Lm60 on brochure prices. Discounted prices for the one-week cruise start from Lm299, plus taxes, per person for a twin cabin, said Mr Degiorgio. The third and fourth paying adults in a cabin get a 50 per cent reduction. He explained that when a liner visits a non-eu port, such as Tunis, the whole ship is exempt from VAT. The ship s itinerary also introduces Malta to many foreigners who were previously unaware of the island s charm. Mr Degiorgio said that often foreign passengers did not know much about Malta, so their visit here turns out to be a pleasant surprise.

Samsung Heavy Industries, One of the FPSO has been ordered by a joint venture between IMC and Japanese FPSO specialist Modec. A second hull has been ordered for IMC's own account. The suezmax-dimensioned FPSOs are planned to have a storage capacity of between 1m and 1.4m barrels. The first hull is due for delivery in July No financial details have been disclosed but a similar sized unit at Samsung last year by Australian energy concern Woodside for $60m. The joint venture, IMC-Modec JV1 Pte, looks to have stolen a march on sector rivals by ordering the two hulls now. The shortage of delivery berths resulting from the recent boom in newbuilding activity has become a bottleneck for FPSO contractors. IMC and Modec said they had established the joint venture company in order to secure the early delivery of an FPSO hull that will be deployed to a project in the near future. Neither party was willing to disclose where the first FPSO will be deployed, but one industry expert suggested it may be for Murphy Oil s Kikeh project off Malaysia.

The Oshima-built sisters were the biggest vessels in the Jinhui fleet. The sales appear to be an opportunistic move for bulker specialist Jinhui.
